Equity investment fund targeting the smaller end of the small and medium-sized enterprise (SME) segment in sub-Saharan Africa
The fund's investment strategy is focusing on the smaller end of the SME segment with funding needs of EUR 0.3-3m primarily in francophone Africa and the Indian Ocean. The fund will be generalist in terms of target sectors, emphasising sectors addressing the Sustainable Development Goals (e.g. health, renewable energy, financial inclusion etc.). Investments will mainly target SMEs in their expansion stage, and, to a lesser extent, in start-ups.
The fund's operational guidelines provide for environmental and social due diligence of investee companies according to guidelines acceptable to the Bank.
Not applicable.
The operation is proposed for the sub-window "Social Impact Funds" under the Impact Financing Envelope (IFE).
